  • Cigar information

    I enjoy the show and would like to smoke what the hosts are smoking while I listen. If the cigar that will be smoked is somewhere in the episode description or a website would be helpful. Thank you.

  • Great show but need new host.

    I like this show, very informative if you are into cigars. Dave/Krissy/Ed make me laugh and love their banter. However Aaron (the host) needs to be replaced in my opinion. Dude comes across as so uncomfortable communicating and that nervous giggle/laugh after everything he says is so annoying. I am sure he is a good guy but not host material. They should make a change.

Q: Why aren't many, if any, cigars made in Ecuador?
Ecuador grows a lot of wrapper tobacco, but the leaves might be too thin for filler, suggesting they're often used in lower quality blends or sold off to other tobacco products.

What’s Going to Move the Needle in 2025 for Cigars?
Q: He was thinking about building a smoking lounge from a shed and insulating it, and installing light, electric heat, TV, all the things that I would like to have in a lounge, but at home. Have you ever heard of anything like this?
It's not crazy to build out of a shed, but more people are getting ice fishing tents for temporary use as they can be broken down in the summer.
